Grace 242

This is the second week of our series on Jude. Knowing that an internal enemy is far more dangerous than an external enemy, Jude verses 3 and 4 instruct us to watch out for false teachers in the church. Jesus' half-brother then gives us two benchmarks for spotting false teachers: 
1. What is the teacher's sexual ethic? 
2. What is taught about the lordship of Christ? 

Kept is a three week series on the short book of Jude. Jude verse 1 and verse 21 reveal that those whom God keeps in Christ are those who keep themselves in Christ. 

We keep ourselves in Christ by: 
1. Building each other up in your most holy faith (Jude 20)
2. Praying in the power of the Holy Spirit (Jude 20)
3. Awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 21)

For Advent 2022, we are surveying the names of Jesus. The name "Messiah" means "Anointed One." Today we trace God's anointed ones through the narrative of scripture. 

For Advent 2022, we are surveying the names of Jesus. Today we look at the name "Everlasting Father" in Isaiah 9:6. We look at three characteristics of a good father: 1. A good father is present 2. A good father is engaged 3. A good father loves. Our everlasting father is all of these. 

For Advent 2022, we are surveying the names of Jesus. Today we're back to Isaiah 9:6 where the coming king is named "Prince of Peace." The peace brought on by the Prince of Peace is unique for three reasons: 1. It's Total 2. It's Eternal 3. It's Paradoxical. 

For Advent 2022, we are surveying the names of Jesus. Today we dig into the name "Immanuel" from Isaiah 7:14. We discover that Immanuel means "God With Us" which guarantees protection, salvation,  and restoration. 

For Advent 2022, we are surveying the names of Jesus. Today we dig into the name "Wonderful Counselor" from Isaiah 9:6. 

Bob Turner preaches on Philippians 4:6-7

In Titus 2:12, Paul instructs Titus to live in the “evil world” of Paul and Titus’ day. The truth of Christ made for godly living in the evil world of The Roman Empire. So how can the truth of Christ instruct us into godly living in the evil world of 2022? 

Today we look at the passage that inspired the series, Titus 2:11-14. How can we live in an evil world? Paul tells us to look beyond this evil world to when Jesus returns. 

In Titus 2:12, Paul instructs Titus to live in the “evil world” of Paul and Titus’ day. The truth of Christ made for godly living in the evil world of The Roman Empire. So how can the truth of Christ instruct us into godly living in the evil world of 2022? 

In Titus 3:1-7 Paul gives both an answer and a framework of how Christians are to relate to governments, even if the governments are an extension of the evil world that we live in.
